There He is! . .
. do you see Him? . . . He is beautiful. You asked me how I see Him so well for
you wished to see Him also, and I told you to lift that silly veil. You thought
to hide your flaws from Him, and how you thought such a thing I do not know.
Nothing can be hid from Him. Not our thoughts or frailties or even dreams we
hold onto secretly. With Him there is no such thing as “secretly”. Masks,
veils, and walls can never hide you from Him, but they will hide Him from you.
And now you have done it and you have not been disappointed. Did I not say that
He was fairer than all the sons of men? Do you hear me? . . . Hello? . . . I
knew that this would happen. It happens to everyone who sees Him clearly for
the first time. I'll just leave you to gaze in wonder for awhile. I told you
so.
